## PC-DMIS Jog Box Macros

Some basic PC-DMIS functions can be controlled with the Zeiss jog box as follows:

PC-DMIS function Jog Box

End F1

Execute Continue F2

Erase Hit F3 or Space Button

Save Mast Auto Dim. F4

Store Move F5 or Button on XY Joystick

If MappedJogKeys=TRUE, then the following defaults are used:

1. END - Done button (also Yes or OK if the topmost dialog box has those buttons)

2. ERASE - Erases the last hit.

3. DCC_INSERT_MOVE - Inserts a clearance move

4. EXECUTE_STOP - Stops execution (Done button toggles between Stop and Continue so this is not needed)

5. EXECUTE_CONTINUE - Continues execution (Done button toggles between Stop and Continue so this is not needed)

6. ID_UTIL_KEEP_DIM - Rarely used option when you have auto dimension turned on but not auto save dimensions. In this mode, the auto dimension is generated each time you measure a feature and then this dimension is deleted when you create the next feature unless you specifically say to keep the last dimension. The main reason is to be able to see the dimension in the Edit window without having it automatically inserted into the measurement routine as a command.

7. ID_CANCEL - Mapped to the Cancel button

8. DCC_MEASURE - Same as Ctrl + E (measure last feature)

9. UTIL_DELETE - Deletes last feature (WARNING: This can be dangerous on a jog box button)

10. MAN/DCC - Toggles between Manual and DCC mode commands in the Edit window

11. Release Probe with Trigger – This will prompt the user first. WARNING: This should not be used with an analog probe! If this is used with an analog probe, the probe will drop before the dialog box appears. For analog probes, you should only use #13!

12. Attach Probe - This prompts the user first.

13. Release Probe with OK - This prompts the user first

14. Soft Reset of Controller

15. FOR MC-850: Release Probe with Trigger - This prompts the user first.

16. FOR MC-850: Attach Probe - This prompts the user first.

17. Go to Manual mode - This can be used if PC-DMIS does not return to manual mode after an error. This does not work on all systems.

18. Manual Scan Mode ON - On a Vast system, this allows you to do a manual Centering Scan.

19. Manual Scan Mode OFF - On a Vast system, this returns you to the regular probing mode.

These two (18 & 19) must be assigned jog box buttons on Vast systems with a probe changer since this mode is used during the Tool Change calibration.

When prompted to attach or release a probe (12, 13, 15, 16), the button on the jog box assigned to the END key must be used for the OK button on the dialog box.

The following are button combinations that communicate directly with the controller and are preferable over the assigned keys.

Picking Up the Probe

ENTER (BELOW) + SHIFT (ABOVE) + F1

Releasing the Probe

Caution: The universal 3D probe head releases the probe immediately!

ENTER (BELOW) + SHIFT (ABOVE) + F2

Correcting the Probe Position

The probe of the universal 3D probe head may drop down! ENTER (BELOW) + SHIFT (ABOVE) + F3.

Weight Balance of Universal 3D Probe Head

ENTER (BELOW) + SHIFT (ABOVE) + F4

JogBoxKey15

If you want to set JogBoxKey15 to the functionality of JogBoxKey3 (Insert MovePoint) then you would set:

[ZEISS]

JogBoxKey15=3

Jog Box Keys on Large Jog Boxes

The Jog Box Keys on the large full alpha jog boxes are setup in the following fashion:

1 3 5 7 9 11 13 15 17 19

2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20

The button on top of the XY jog is 21.

To make it easier, the key pressed and its current setting is displayed in the message area in the lower left-hand corner of the screen.
